You have been called to see a collapsed patient. For each of the following clinical scenarios, choose the single most appropriate cause of collapse. Each option may be used once, more than once or not at all.

6. You are asked to urgently see an unbooked pregnancy. She collapsed in A&E with constant severe abdominal pain. She has no vaginal bleeding. On examination she has a gravid uterus, approximately 34cm, and you are unable to discern presentation due to a tense ‘woody’ abdomen. She smells heavily of cigarette smoke.

7. Your SHO calls you to A&E to see a woman day 6 following a normal vaginal delivery referred in by the GP. The referral letter tells you she had an induction at 38 weeks for severe PE, with no significant blood loss. She has had central chest pain for the last 12 hours.

8. You respond to the emergency buzzer call-out for room 6, a woman whom you delivered by ventouse 4 hours ago. She had a syntocinon infusion. The midwife tells you that she stood up to go to the shower and fainted.
